[Auugps] Request relating to our AUUG trading name

[Lawrie Brown]

Hi Stephen & All

I believe extensive efforts were made by David Purdue & others to
try & correct records with the relevant Vic authority, and they
failed. I think we have buckleys & none of actually successfully
getting the group deincorporated offically. I am certainly not willing
to expend effort on this given the stories I've heard of previous
efforts.

And I'm not sure I'd like to see the name reused anyway, we have a history
which I think is worth trying to preserve something of.

Cheers
Lawrie
